Re: Transferring IFS files to another non-AS400 server

Hi Mike,

Try using QNTC in the IFS. Any NT servers on the same subnet as the AS/400
should show up in there automagically.  If they're not, you can use the make
directory command to add them:

    MKDIR '/QNTC/9.130.67.24'

or

    MKDIR '/QNTC/NTSRV01'

Note that when you IPL, these manually created QNTC directories will
disappear, so you can either put them in the startup program, or in the
program that's doing the file transfer.

Once you've done that, the AS400 sees the NT's directories as if they were
part of the IFS, and you can simply do a CPYTOSTMF or CPYTOIMPF to put the
data in there. Also, you'll need to specify the codepage of 1252 (IIRC).
Depending upon which release you're on, you may need a ptf to get the
codepage parameter on the CPYTOIMPF command.
